Jan. 13th, 2003 11:04 amAch... I seem to have acquired a rather severe pain in my lower back. After sampling from the various painkillers in our medicine cabinet last night I discovered that the unlabeled-and-thus-unclaimed Heineken in the refrigerator was a more effective anæsthetic than any of our pharmaceuticals. Ach. I guess this means I ought to hold off on the headstands and hanggliding for awhile.. )-: I think this might have a little to do with adjusting to my new bed, but that doesn't make too much sense, as it's identical to my old bed...
Not much going on here. Haley and I saw a great movie the other night, called Dream with the Fishes. We recommend it. Also, a week or two ago we rented Smilla's Sense of Snow, which also turned out to be a pretty good movie, especially for anyone who likes X-Files-esque actiondrama. Set in Greenland and Copenhagen, filmed on location, performed in English. It reminded me a lot of the French film Les Rivières Pourpres (Crimson Rivers) which is also an excellent film (mystery/drama with good characterization and dramatic landscapes, and a sequel in the works).
I finished the ten-lesson Esperanto correspondence course, earning, of course, my diploma. The short course is fun and gives one a surprisingly good command of the language... I urge you to give it a try. (-: My next project is to learn Spanish, for the explicit purpose of travelling south of here.
Life at the co-op is gradually restarting as people return. It's pretty fun here in my new room with Jamie and Jason. I wish Jamie weren't leaving so soon.
Got myself a Berkeley Public Library card yesterday. The renovated library is really great. Picked up a few books, including one on Esperanto (the library has seven Esperanto books! CMVL had zero.), another on Baja California, and one titled "The Great Eskimo Vocabulary Hoax." Haha.
I'm sure I've registered with the Linux Counter looooong ago, back when Slackware was pretty much the only distribution around. But I couldn't find my name in the database, so I registered again, and now I am officially user number 300964:
